Captain Jace was truly exceptional. His professionalism was evident, yet the experience felt as though we were fishing with a close friend. He exudes a relaxed and approachable demeanor, making conversations with him thoroughly enjoyable. Jace guided us to fantastic fishing spots where we landed some impressive catches, including Snook exceeding 30 inches in length. Alongside the Snook, we also successfully reeled in trout, bonitos, and redfish. Our time with him was truly memorable, and we would eagerly choose to set sail with Jace again on our return. Thank you, Jace!

We had an absolute blast! Jace was exceptional! He was punctual, picking us up early and ensuring we had a late drop-off. While the fishing conditions weren't ideal, the overall experience was outstanding. It was evident that Captain Jace was frustrated by the challenging conditions, especially with the water temperature affecting our catch rate. Nevertheless, he made every effort, exploring numerous fishing spots. We still managed to secure a plentiful catch to take home. To top it off, he dropped us off conveniently at a restaurant by the dock, where they cooked our fish for us! Captain Jace, thank you once again for a fantastic day. We're definitely planning to return.
